To be an effective leader, you must be able to be clear about the expectations that you have of people. It\u2019s also important that you\u2019re clear with yourself and manage your own expectations. Clarity is simply a way in which you can ensure your ability to serve effectively. Today we\u2019re going to talk about why clarity is so important for the success of your business and how understanding the historical context of your organization is one of the main catalysts in fostering that clarity that your team desperately needs. \ud835\udc47\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc58\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc64\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc66\ud835\udc60 \ud83d\udcdd \ud83d\udd11 Clarity is dependent on your ability to understand the historical context of people\u2019s behavior and actions. \ud83d\udd11 One of the five biggest mistakes that leaders make in managing and retaining their dream team is failing to manage expectations. \ud83d\udd11 When you listen, people are going to tell you what their real motivation is.
